[Evergreen-general] Prague

[Linda Jansová]

Dear Terran and others,

Thank you for being with us!

It is indeed a tragedy; something we could never really imagine 
happening here, especially not on our university's premises which is a 
place we all traditionally consider safe.

Actually, the Institute of Information Studies and Librarianship where 
we all studied and where Eva also teaches a course on information 
technologies in libraries is part of the Faculty of Arts but located 
elsewhere. But the Faculty of Arts' main building is also a place where 
we all have spent some time (I remember taking some of my English 
classes there about two decades ago) and also it is a kind of a symbolic 
building for us here in the Czech Republic.

Although at this moment I do not think we personally know any of the 
victims, it is a really difficult situation to cope with as it is do 
much linked with a familiar setting, with a place and an institution 
which has played and keeps playing an important role in our lives.

Linda
